What would cause it to leak out of the front? We drain it every evening before bed but the last couple of nights, it leaks all over the carpet.

Return the unit. I have two Sharp units and they do not leak, nor required such frequent draining.

When the air contains a lot of humidity the air conditioner will quickly fill up with water and you may have to empty it much more often, perhaps every 4 to 6 hours of use. The bottom tray holds the water and it may leak out nearest to the direction it is slanting. You can take the enclosure apart and see the inside yourself to see if there is any cracks in the tray that may cause premature leakage. During shipping the unit may have been dropped or handled roughly because of the weight and hidden damage may not be evident until it is fully inspected. Hope this helps.

Mine is on carpet. In its second year. Not one stain. My carpet is white, btw. I can't imagine what would leak to cause a stain. It's not oil filled. Even then I have had a lot of oil filled heaters over the years. None ever leaked.

Mine doesn't leak, maybe put some pipe tape around the threads see if that works

Did you check if maybe you overfilled the unit? If not, than maybe you should return for a new one. I have had mine for 6 months and i have never had a leak. So maybe your unit could be defected?

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.

Hi Vikas, i had that same problem in the beginning, I changed the hose and it still happened but it wasnt drastic, i tightened the hose and since its been fine with no problems. Not sure where it is leaking from but check the hose connections, I hope this helps.

Mine has been doing the same thing. I just bought it this week. The floor is soaked underneath. It looks like the steam comes and out and goes right down to the rug, no matter which way I position it. I'm taking it back to target.

I wonder if you were ever able to fix this? Mine leaks all over the place and in reading other reviews of this DeLonghi product, it seems a common complaint. Also seems like "not fixable." A real bummer.

We had ours for six months then it started going off on its own until it spilled all over the place. We tried replacing batteries and making sure nothing was on the sensor to no avail it still kept leaking all over the place. We threw it in the trash because of mess and frustration. Sorry I was no help to you!

Had the same problem- everything was fine until I changed the filter & the next thing I knew it was leaking like crazy- I almost threw it out but decided to re-assemble the whole thing again. The tube on top of the motor has to be in the corner so it goes directly into the tube of the raindrop cover. The cord from the motor needs to be flat and in the little insert. If everything is not lined up just so, it will leak. I also moved the lever on the motor -it was all the way to the left and I put it mid-way. Who knew it was so delicate that a few millimeters would throw off the whole system. I like the fountain but that's a design flaw they should alert you to- ruined a little rug I had too.

As with other posters, we've never had an issue with ours leaking and have been using it for many years. Sounds like a defect, or like it may have been cracked by dropping/dishwasher/etc.

Our carpet is not plush. It worked well until it got clogged. I have not had this problem before and took it in to get cleaned, $53 later. Will pick it up this week.

I forgot to mention - if there has been repeated urination/heavy volume in this area, it would be a good idea to inspect under the padding as well, in case it has soaked through. You may have to treat the wood floor underneath.

Where is it leaking from? Are you making sure the lever is closed all the way? Sometimes it can be a little difficult to close all the way

After about 3 months, mine begin to leak & sprayed water on the back wall. Since this one of yours is new, try taking it apart & reinstalling it. If this does not work, ask Church and Dwight for a replacement one.

Mine leaked. Your best bet is to return it but I was too lazy. I used an old sock and then the plug to prevent the table from leaking.

I have 2 of these and no leak issues with either. Where is it leaking? If you are sure it's a seal issue, return and get a new one.
